English for work, for study and for daily life

We offer courses in English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). If English is not your first language and you live in the UK, our part-time classes can help you with your speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

Learn essential language skills for life

We have highly experienced ESOL tutors who can help you with your grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and improve your confidence.

You can learn language for everyday situations, such as shopping, helping your children with their homework, going to the doctor, completing forms, and general conversation.

We offer classes across Oxfordshire and with some lessons online, both in the day time and evening.

Our classes have small, supportive groups and there are individual and group activities.

This combination will help you to focus on your grammar and writing, practise your pronunciation and improve your confidence. You will be supported by our highly experienced ESOL tutors.

If you’re worried about the cost of your course or how you will support yourself during your studies, see our Fees and Financial Support page.
